    But thats still not a foregone conclusion...first he has to get a bout with either.
    IF he gets a bout with Pacquiao, it would either be held at 140, or 147 (147 is most likely because of Roach), and at the minute Pacquiao seems to be on another level to any other boxer out there, excluding a few.
    IF he gets a bout with Mayweather, Bradley would have to move upto 147, he hasn't fought there before...and Mayweather for the majority of his career has looked on another level to the majority of his opponents.

    Bradley is in their level.

    Watching him put Peterson on a boxing clinic is something. You don't do that to someone who held his own against Mayweather.

    He's decent, no doubt, but don't write off Alexander and Khan yet, because both of them could provide a tough match-up. Khan in particular has a lot of potential and he's improving with every fight, so it's a bit early to give 140 to Bradley.

    Why are journeyman and ATG the only options? Just say ATG or Not.

    Answer: No

    Here are my reasons:

    Lack of power, defensive liabilities, lack of names at 140 means he won't break through big time most likely.

    and he'd probably get beat up at WW.

    I think he makes a good living in boxing, goes down as a great junior WW champ but not an ATG.

    Bradley, I am afraid, is in another league at 140.

    No one comes close.

    They better not let Khan come near Bradley anytime at this point and in the future, because no way he can win against Bradley. Bradley will crack his jaw for a KO masterclass victory.

    You're a twit. I hope you're being sarcastic.

    Khan took some big punches from a dude who punches hard and got KO'd. **** like that happens in boxing. It doesn't mean Khan can be written off.

    Maidana is an easy target, but he has the equalizer in his hands. A punch from Maidana would no doubt hurt Tim.

    Devon Alexander enjoys a speed and power advantage over Tim, so I dunno how you can count him out.

    Yes he will be an all time great or no he is nothing but a journeyman. Is there not an option for being somewhere in between. Poll reeks of fail.

    So if he doesn't become an ATG he's a journeyman?

    No middle ground here.

    :lol:

    I got respect for Bradley, but Khan's reach and speed will be too much for the small 5'6 Bradley. Khan will UD when they meet.
